Ah, I remember that one. Happened to me once as well. This is what
finally helped me sort it out:

BTW: I can't recall what happened or why it occured. But I did manage to
get it sorted out by changing the permissions *and* the chown back. What
do you see for:
ls -l .dmrc
On this machine I get:
ls -l .dmrc
-rw------- 1 ggx ggx 67 2008-02-27 17:06 .dmrc
